Set on over an acre on the edge of Mill Bank village, Helm Farm House is a traditional stone cottage that will appeal to families and countryside lovers seeking space and privacy. The house combines character features — exposed beams, stone chimney breasts and an open fireplace — with practical living: a farmhouse kitchen with multi-fuel stove, a sitting room with bi-fold doors onto a sheltered terrace and a useful utility/cloakroom. The plot includes fenced pasture, a small orchard, greenhouse, outbuilding/stable and generous off-street parking.
The layout is flexible: three double bedrooms (master with en-suite), a study/snug, cellar storage and a large first-floor landing that could become a reading or home-working area. Planning permission has been granted for a single-storey rear extension (Ref: 24/01120/192), offering clear scope to increase living space and value. The enclosed terrace and garden provide sheltered outdoor entertaining with wide, far-reaching rural views.
Buyers should note practical considerations: heating is oil-fired and drainage is by a septic tank, both of which carry running and maintenance costs. Broadband speeds are reported slow, so streaming or high-data remote working may need a solution. Overall the property is chain-free and well presented, making it ready to enjoy now while offering sensible refurbishment or extension potential for longer-term gain.
